Over feeding of pellets

The problem we are having is over feeding. We have overhauled the stove, cleaned over and over. No matter what we do, when we turn the stove on it lights fine after at least two times then starts to over feed pellets.

We have a St. Croix stove. This is our second year of having it. Not many problems the first year. This year we are having problems with over feeding of the burn pot. It will burn well for half the night, then during the night overload. Or a few hours with no problem, then overload on and off. My husband cleans it every day. Has torn it apart to clean, has spoken with stove cleaners that have offered suggestions, played with the damper, etc. He thinks he has it fixed, then it will start to overload (this occurs on all settings). It is extremely frustrating.We have a St. Croix stove. This is our second year of having it. Not many problems the first year. This year we are having problems with over feeding of the burn pot.

They are very hard to keep clean. I've had mine for 2 years and although I like the idea of the flat surface, living with it is a different matter. I use the cleaners but it is still not clean. I would not buy another one like the one I currently have.

This can be caused by wind. Especially if the vent is a direct vent, or in the center of the wall of your house. Has this happened since installed or just started? If since installed, probably not installed properly. If recent, just needs a good cleaning.
